This glossary is a reference to the English words for the matter of heat transfer.
Conduction
Cond
La conducción es el mecanismo de transferencia de calor en el que la energía térmica se transfiere de un punto a otro por medio de la interacción entre los átomos o moléculas de la materia.
Example: Conduction takes place in solids, liquids and gases. Conduction does not imply massive movement of matter.
es: Conduccion
Convection
Conv
Convection is defined as the heat transmitted in a liquid or gas as a consequence of the actual movement of the heated particles within it.
Example: If this movement is due to the effect of gravitation, due to differences in density, it is called natural convection.
es: Conveccion
Radiation
Rad
Thermal radiation, along with convection and conduction, is one of the three main mechanisms of heat transfer
Example: Radiation is the emission of a spectrum of electromagnetic waves from all matters whose temperature is greater than absolute zero.
